Gallagher Security Celebrates Double Win at Australian Security Awards
In a remarkable showcase of innovation and excellence, Gallagher Security, a global leader in security solutions, achieved a double victory at the prestigious Australian Security Industry Awards for Excellence and the Outstanding Security Performance Awards held in Melbourne. This recognition underscores Gallagher’s commitment to advancing security technology and training methodologies, setting a benchmark in the industry.
Outstanding Security Training Initiative: Augmented Reality Training
One of the standout achievements for Gallagher was the recognition of its Augmented Reality (AR) Training program as the Outstanding Security Training Initiative at the Outstanding Security Performance Awards. Launched in May 2023, this cutting-edge training solution was designed to enhance accessibility and effectiveness in security training, addressing the challenges posed by traditional methods.
Danielle Mitchell, Gallagher Security’s Training Manager for the Asia Pacific, India, Middle East, and Africa, expressed her pride in the award, stating, "This award recognises Gallagher’s continued commitment to pushing training boundaries, delivering innovative opportunities for our customers." The AR Training program eliminates geographical constraints and logistical delays, allowing technicians to receive training on demand, regardless of their location. This flexibility not only increases the availability and frequency of courses but also ensures that all attendees can benefit from the latest training resources.
The introduction of AR Training builds on Gallagher’s previous initiatives, including the Train the Trainer program, Virtual Classroom sessions, and online training modules. With plans to expand the rollout of this innovative training across the Asia Pacific and India, Middle East, and Africa regions, Gallagher is poised to redefine the landscape of security training.
Product of the Year: Controller 7000
In addition to its training accolades, Gallagher’s Controller 7000 (C7000) was awarded Product of the Year in the Access Control category during the Australian Security Industry Awards for Excellence. This recognition adds to a growing list of accolades for the C7000, which has already been celebrated as the Outstanding New Security Product at both the New Zealand and India and South Asia Outstanding Security Performance Awards, as well as receiving the Innovative Achievement Award at the Detektor International Awards.
Launched in November 2023, the C7000 is a comprehensive security management solution that integrates access control, intruder alerts, perimeter security, and business automation. Its design incorporates advanced cybersecurity features and seamless upgrade paths, ensuring that users are well-prepared for future technological advancements. Craig Schutte, Executive Vice President for Asia Pacific and India, Middle East, and Africa at Gallagher Security, remarked, "This award is testament to everyone involved in bringing the C7000 to market. Gallagher is passionate about pushing cybersecurity to the next level so that we can protect what matters most."

The awards event, organized by the Australian Security Industry Association Ltd, was a grand celebration that combined multiple industry programs, including the Australian Security Medals Awards. This gathering not only highlighted Gallagher’s achievements but also showcased the collective efforts of the security sector in enhancing safety and security across various domains.
Gallagher Security’s double win at these prestigious awards is a testament to its unwavering dedication to innovation and excellence in the security industry. With the successful implementation of AR Training and the recognition of the C7000, Gallagher is not only setting new standards but also paving the way for the future of security solutions.
